PITTSBURGH - Several community leaders and volunteers are coming together to support Antwon Rose's mother and other family members during the upcoming trial.

As the trial approaches, the focus is support.

The help started with a request for volunteers, and the response was almost instant.

"They don’t have to get up in the morning and make breakfast because somebody is going to bring it. They don’t have to get up and warm up the car because church vans are going to pick them up," Sloan said.

Help is coming from the Mon Valley and so many Pittsburgh neighborhoods.

Sloan is the committeewoman for the 12th Ward, 15th District, but she has also been heavily involved in supporting Rose's family.
